TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE HONORABLE PETER MICHAEL MCCOY, JR., OF CHARLESTON COUNTY FOR HIS DEDICATED SERVICE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON BEHALF OF HIS CONSTITUENTS AND THE CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO WISH HIM MUCH SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN HIS SERVICE AS THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives learned with sincere regret that Representative Peter McCoy departed from the House of Representatives on March 29, 2020; and
Whereas, born in Charleston on August 20, 1978, he is the son of Peter M. and Lucy Coleman McCoy, and he earned a bachelor's degree in 2001 from Hampden-Sydney College in Farmville, Virginia, before earning a juris doctorate from Regent University in Chesapeake, Virginia, in 2005; and
Whereas, from 2005 to 2010, he served as an assistant solicitor in Charleston County and is licensed to practice in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina and United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Committed to his profession, he served on the executive board of the Charleston Lawyers Club from 2007 through 2010; and
Whereas, his outstanding community service as a member of the Folly Beach Civic Club, the James Island Exchange Club, and the advisory board for Save the Morris Island Lighthouse earned him the Key to James Island in 2012, inclusion in the Charleston Regional Business Journal's 2014 Forty Under 40, the 2014 Town of James Island Community Award, and being named a South Carolina Rising Star for 2013 through 2016 by South Carolina Super Lawyers and a South Carolina Super Lawyer for 2017 through 2020; and
Whereas, a member of Grace Episcopal Church, he married his beloved wife, Jennifer Blanchard, on June 19, 2010, and together they are rearing three fine children: Mae Loflin, Lucy Davis and Peter Michael III. When away from his duties in the House of Representatives, he practiced law at McCoy and Stokes, LLC; and
Whereas, he has faithfully served the citizens of Charleston's District 115 in the House of Representatives since 2011, during which time he has served as chairman of the Judiciary Committee and as a member of the Ethics Committee. He has also served on the Joint Legislative Screening Committee for Colleges and Universities, the Judicial Merit Selection Committee, and as chairman of the General and Family Law Subcommittee, as well as the Constitutional Laws Subcommittee; and
Whereas, in all of his service, he has demonstrated the highest character, along with effective and consistent leadership, culminating in his nomination by President Donald J. Trump and confirmation by the United States Senate to serve as the United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina; and
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives will miss the impassioned and selfless service that Peter McCoy, their friend and colleague, has given to the House of Representatives, and hope that he will enjoy deep fulfillment in the years to come. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend the Honorable Peter Michael McCoy, Jr., of Charleston County for his dedicated service in the House of Representatives on behalf of his constituents and the citizens of South Carolina and wish him much success and happiness in his service as the United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Honorable Peter Michael McCoy, Jr.
